Protecting pool laminates from osmotic blistering

Pool gelcoats can only provide optimum durability when used in combination with high quality tie-layer and laminating resins. Our ULTRATEC™ VE Tie-Layer resin is ideally suited for the construction of barrier laminates directly behind the gelcoat in swimming pool construction. The resin rich tie layer laminate provides excellent water and chemical resistance. It also improves the surface profile and the cosmetic appearance of the final part. 

  • Corrosion resistance
  • Improved surface profile
  • Toughness
  • Versatility
